I am appalled by the shocking scenes at President Trump's rally and we send him and his family our best wishes. Political violence in any form has no place in our societies and my thoughts are with all the victims of this attack.

Pleased as I exit that political opposition was able to exercise right to assemble peacefully. I hope this can continue. Steps to embed democratic norms, alongside economic reform & investment in social development, will be core to Zambia's future & the enduring ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฌ๐ง partnership.

My final night in Lusaka was spent with former & current Ministers plus Zambians from other walks of life. This is what I'll remember most about Zambia: unity, grace, kindness, warmth. However tough life gets, however divisive the political rhetoric.. One Zambia, One Nation๐ฟ๐ฒ 1/2

It was full-circle catching up with @nkwoolley @OxfordSBS on his last day as British High Commissioner to #Zambia, having also been there the day he began in #Lusaka in 2019. The relationship between the #UK and #Zambia has been utterly transformed in his 5 years in post...

Thank you @UKinZambia for making this possible. Your funding support is timely, especially at a time like this.
To support the ๐ฟ๐ฒGovts drought response, WFP has trained and deployed 20 call centre agents to manage @DMMUZambia's Situation Room. The agents all support real time market & food security monitoring & feedback mechanisms to aid the drought response efforts. @UKinZambia

Held discussions with Alex Garrard from Amia Capital, one of the reps of our Eurobond Holders, who last month, voted in favour of restructuring our 3 Eurobonds, effectively giving ๐ฟ๐ฒ more headroom on our fiscal space. We encouraged Amia Capital to continue investing in #Zambia.๐ฟ๐ฒ

Had a great conversation with my Zambian colleague and competitor @mubitanawa77 for SG who has an important vision. Critical that whomever wins, we see more strong African leadership throughout INTERPOL to make sure regional priorities are addressed properly.
